Answer:
a) v = 19,149.6 m/s
b) f = 95%
c) t = 346.5min
Explanation:
First put all values in metric units:
The equation of motion you need is:
where is the final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time in hours.
Since the spaceship starts from 0 velocity:
Next, you need to calculate the distances traveled on each interval, considering that both starting and final intervals travel the same distance because the acceleration and time are equal. For this part you need the next motion equation:
solving for first and last interval:
Since the spaceship starts and finish with 0 velocity:
Then the ship traveled at constant speed, which means that it traveled:
Which in percentage is 95% of the trip.
to calculate total time you need to calculate the time used during constant speed:
That added to the other interval times:
